- #24 Before we do that, though, we need to take a step back and ask an even more basic question: What is a buyer persona, anyway? I keep saying that our personas are absolutely essential to an effective inbound marketing strategy--and we’re going to dive into how to create those personas in just a couple minutes--but before we do that we need to take a step back and think about what buyer personas really are.
- #25 At their root, Buyer personas are Semi- fictional representations of your ideal customer based on real data and select educated speculation about customer demographics, behavior patterns, motivations, and goals. Woah—now what does THAT mean? That definition has A LOT going on- it’s pretty complex! The best way to start to tease apart some of what exactly a buyer persona is is by actually seeing one in action here—what a real, live buyer persona actually looks like.
- #26 So we saw with example of Marketing Mary, there, what exactly these personas look like And we’re starting to get a clearer idea of what buyer personas really are. They’re fictional characters that we CREATE, through research, analysis, and taking a close look at who’s already buying from us—that represent our DREAM customers. Notice this says “customers” though! A lot of companies actually have more than one buyer persona- on average, they probably have between 3 and 5 buyer personas. How you know you’ve reached the “edge” of one persona and the other one begins is when those shared generalities disappear. When you’re creating your personas, you’re probably going to notice that your customer base falls into one of a couple different buckets, or broad categories. Those buckets are your personas. Now that’s a little better definition of what a buyer persona is,
- #32 So we want to use our buyer personas to… Create killer content that converts. Beyond just guiding us to create content that really works to convert, close, and delight customers, our buyer personas can also help us get found and attract more people to our site, too! Google’s getting better and better at filtering out content that’s not designed specifically for users—that content that’s not valuable– and they’ve stopped showing a lot of those sites in their search results. Integrating our buyer personas into our content is one of the easiest, most foolproof ways we have to make that valuable content that our users are going to love, they’re going to find helpful, and Google will like, too! So let’s look at how we go about doing that.
- #33 THE EASIER IT IS TO BUILD AND POSITION CONTENT that underscores the benefits of your products and your company’s value proposition FOR THEM So we’ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about what our personas need, what their goals and challenges are, how they approach the world– we can now start
- #34 Regardless of the type of content- emails, blogs, or otherwise--what you want to do is to really tailor your content to each persona.
- #36 And we can start to create content around customers’ challenges. So you can create all kinds of content, but Here’s a classic example of a blog article – it’s addressing a challenge—”I want to use social media, I want to beat my competitors, how do I do that” If you’re struggling to develop blog content or you’ve kind of hit a wall, remember, now that you’ve developed your personas, you can go back to your those questions you asked when creating your personas and the answers to those questions to write good content around them. You can often take the exact way that they phrased or wrote that question – if you look in the Linkedin questions, or in the forums- and use that same language to make a blog post out of it.

- #41 Before we cover why we want to create campaigns, we have understand the difference between a campaign and an inbound marketing campaign. Let me ask you all, what do you think of when you think about campaigns? What comes to mind? Political campaign? Email campaign? Ad campaign? Events campaign? Around a marketing offer?
- #42 By definition, a marketing campaign is a specific, defined series of activities used in marketing a new or changed product or service or in using new marketing channels and methods. But the tools, the channels, and the results were all disconnected pieces, so a lot was left to chance.
- #43 inbound marketing campaign takes into account the varied way that people learn online and encompasses many channels. An inbound marketing campaign is concentrated efforts that align all of your marketing channels around a single offer and goal. So now with an inbound marketing campaign, you can relate your separate blogging, email, pay-per-click or any other individual campaigns together.
